Written answers

Minister for Health

The Press and Communications Office of my Department liaise with the media on behalf of the Department as well as all Ministers and do not use the services of a PR company. My Department has not incurred any PR costs since March 2011 to date. It is not possible to estimate PR costs for the rest of 2014 at this stage.
